Claudia Schmedding / Forme

Here's some work by Germany's Claudia Schmedding, whom I mentioned in passing last Thursday. These faceted slices of concrete play with dimensionality (2D vs. 3D) and transformation (stone becoming gemstone) and  I think, but don't hold me to it  their bright colours are remnants of their former lives as painted buildings and roadways.

Bonus link: these rings by Japan's Forme also have the illusion of sliced gems, as half the synthetic stones are covered under silver.
